When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable
book, and a poor man got it.
The book wasn’t very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮纸）on which was written the secret of the "Touchstone".
The touchstone was a small pebble（鹅卵石）that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this. The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years.
One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity（机会）. Unless we are vigilant, it’s easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it’s just as easy to throw it away.
36. According to the passage, the touchstone is a stone ________.
A. that you can touch
B. that can turn common metal into pure gold
C. that can bring you thousands of pebbles
D. that can bring you good luck
37. The man threw the touchstone into the sea because ________.
A. it was cold
B. it was a normal pebble
C. he was too tired to hold it
D. he had formed a habit
38. How did the man probably feel when he realized it was the touchstone?
A. Excited.
B. Moved.
C. Interested.
D. Regretted.
39. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “vigilant” in the last paragraph?
A. Brave enough.
B. Hard-working enough.
C. Careful enough.
D. Strong enough.
40. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Opportunity knocks but once.
B. Use it or lose it.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. Practice makes perfect.

1. B【解析】句意：随着科技的进步，中国进入了一个新时代。

考查冠词。

a不定冠词；the定冠词。

第一空
特指“科技的进步”，应该用定冠词the表特指；第二空表泛指的“一个时代”，应该用不定冠词，根据其后new是辅音音素发音开头，可知用a，故选B。

【点睛】冠词作为一种虚词，一般只能和名词一起使用。

英语中的冠词分为不定冠词a/an，定冠词the和零冠词。

笼统来说，定冠词表特指，不定冠词表泛指。

又不定冠词a/an之间也有区别，a用于辅音音素发音开头的单词前，an用于元音音素发音开头的单词前。

2. A【解析】句意：有些人用眼睛选择东西吃。

他们更喜欢点看起来好吃的东西。

考查动词词义辨析。

looks
看起来；smells闻起来；tastes尝起来。

——我知道，但是天气预报也有可能出错。

它并不是百分之
百正确。

【点睛】none, neither和either的用法区别如下：either意为“两者中任意一个”，是肯定概念，其后谓语动词用单数；neither意为“两者都不”，是否定概念，其后谓语动词根据实际情况用单数或复数；none意为“三者及以上都不”，是否定概念，其后谓语动词根据实际情况用单数或复数。

6. B【解析】句意：做你自己！即使你在树林里迷路了，也不要走别人的路。

考查从属连词。

unless除非；
although虽然，即使；since自从。

根据前后两句的逻辑，可知此处表示让步，应该用although引导让步状语从句，故选B。

【点睛】although可引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然，即使”，注意其不与but连用，但可与yet, still连用。

还可引导让步状语从句的连词有though, as, while, even if, even though等。

考查特殊疑问词。

How soon多久之
后；How long多长时间；How often多久一次。

根据句意，可知此处表示“多长时间”，故选B。

【点睛】how long与how soon都与时间长短有关，两者的区别在于：how soon意为“多久之后”，是对从某个基本时间到将来某动作结束或某动作发生这段时间提问，常用在一般将来时态的句子中，其答语通常是“in +一段时间”；how long意为“多长时间”，主要是对一段时间进行提问，它可用于各种时态，其答语通常是（for）three days/weeks/months等时间段。

14. B【解析】句意：——不好意思，你能告诉我你何时出发去台湾吗？——后天。

考查宾语从句。

此处作
宾语从句，AC选项语序错误，排除；根据答语“The day after tomorrow”，可知用将来时，又be+doing 可表将来，故选B。

Be a civilized passenger
Hello everyone, it’s an honor to give a speech here. The subway brings us convenient. Today I want to give you some suggestions on how to be a polite passenger. Firstly, when you are in the subway, you ought to offer your seats to the old or the young. Secondly, it is rude to eat food or throw litter there. You must keep it clear and tidy. Smoking and talking loudly are not allowed. Third, when the door opens, please remember to get on after others’ getting off. Easier said than done. I wish everyone can be a civilized passenger.
That’s all. Thank you.
